Sous Vide Cooking Controller

Invented and used decades ago in France, sous vide cooking was generally limited to cutting edge restaurants and large scale cook-and-hold productions (banquet halls, airlines, etc).
With laboratory immersion circulators widely available, prices have been dropping but it still costs a small fortune for Joe Consumer to get into the game. With a PID controller such as this from Auber Instruments, you can poach at home by simply pairing it with a rice cooker or crock pot, some knowhow, and time.
